In this study, we developed Rapid Enrichment Broth for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (REB-V), a broth capable enriching V. parahaemolyticus from 100 CFU/mL to 106 CFU/mL within 6 hours, which greatly facilitates the rapid detection of V. parahaemolyticus. Using a modified Gompertz model and response surface methodology, we optimized supplement sources to rapidly enrich V. parahaemolyticus. The addition of 0.003 g/10 mL of D-(+)- mannose, 0.002 g/10 mL of L-valine, and 0.002 g/10 mL of magnesium sulfate to 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW was the most effective combination of V. parahaemolyticus enrichment. Optimal V. parahaemolyticus culture conditions using REB-V were at pH 7.84 and 37oC. To confirm REB-V culture efficiency compared to 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, we assessed the amount of enrichment achieved in 7 hours in each medium and extracted DNA samples from each culture every hour. Real-time PCR was performed using the extracted DNA to verify the applicability of this REB-V culture method to molecular diagnosis. V. parahaemolyticus was enriched to 5.452±0.151 Log CFU/mL in 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW in 7 hours, while in REB-V, it reached 7.831±0.323 Log CFU/mL. This confirmed that REB-V enriched V. parahaemolyticus to more than 106 CFU/mL within 6 hours. The enrichment rate of REB-V was faster than that of 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, and the amount of enrichment within the same time was greater than that of 2% (w/v) NaCl BPW, indicating that REB-V exhibits excellent enrichment efficiency.

식물 및 동물성 유래 펩타이드 형태의 단백질 가수분해물은 항산화, 고혈압 완화, 면역조절, 진통완화 및 항균작용 등 생리활성이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구는 연산 오계의 날개육 단백질 로부터 bromelain 프로티아제를 이용하여 펩타이드 형태의 단백질 가수분해 최적공정을 수행하고 생성 물의 특성을 분석하였다. 최적공정은 표면반응 분석법을 이용하여 수행을 하였고 공정의 범위는 반응온 도 40-60oC, 반응 pH 6-8, 효소의 농도 1-3%(w/v)이었다. 오계 날개육의 단백질 최적 효소가수분해 공정조건은 효소 반응온도 48–50oC, 반응 pH 7.0–7.2, 효소의 양은 3%(w/v)에서 결정 되었다. 이때 단 백질 가수분해 수율은 68-69%에 도달하였다. 생산된 대부분 가수분해물의 분자량들은 전형적인 펩타이 드인 분자량 500-1,200 Da로 분포되었다. 생산된 펩타이드 중에 항산화 기능을 보여주는 소수성 아미 노산들 histidine, proline, methionine, cystein, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine 들이 43.07%을 차 지하였다. 또한 구성아미노산의 함량 glutamic acid가 전체 구성아미노산의 13.6%로 가장 많은 함량을 차지하여 건강 기능 식품소재로서 활용할 가치가 높을 것으로 기대를 한다.

Response surface analysis was used to study dietary ratios of n-3/n-6 fatty acid and P/S to minimize plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL · VLDL-C levels and maximize plasma HDL · C levels of rats. Because the dietary components were not statistically independent, they were studied in combinations of two variables. The two-variable combinations were the most useful in locating the desired maximum or minimum plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL · VLDL-C response in terms of the proportions of the dietary components. Response surface contours and three dimensional plots were developed for each plasma lipid response. The contours and three dimensional plots were used to help determine those combinations of the dietary fatty acid ratios that would produce the desired minimum or maximum lpid responses. The statistical analyses indicated that the minimized plasma cholesterol response levels could be attained with a diet consisting of 2.26 n-3/n-6 fatty acid and 2.15 P/S ratios.

An approach is presented for evaluating the vulnerability of electric cabinet in nuclear power plants. The method is based on the lognormal approach, including the maximum likelihood estimation and linear regression to establish the fragility curves. These procedures are applied for a cabinet considering various boundary conditions, which are expressed by restrained and anchored models at the base. The cabinet models have been built and verified by using the system identification technique. The results show that the fragility curves obtained for the anchored model are found to be closer to each other, compared to the fragility curves for the restrained model.

In this paper the DRC model is presented for solving multi objective problem. The proposed model is a combination of data envelopment analysis, Cuckoo algorithm and the response surface method. Due to reasons like costs, time and irreversible damages, it is not possible to analyze each and every one of the proposed models in practice, so the simulation is used. Since the number of experiments for simulation process is high then the optimization has gone to practice and directs the simulation process. The response surface method is used as one of the approaches of simulation optimization. Furthermore, data envelopment analysis is used to consider several response surfaces as efficiency response surface. Then this efficiency response surface is solved by Cuckoo algorithms. The main advantage of DRC model is to make one efficiency response surface function instate of multi surface function for every output and also using the advantages of Cuckoo algorithms. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the branches of Refah bank in Mashhad is analyzed and the results are presented.

The results of electric conductibility of Salmonella enteritidis growing in the range of incubation temperature (25～42℃), pH (5.5～9.0) and concentration of garlic juice (0～0.8%) showed that a badge with high temperature had low D.T.value and concentration of garlic extract were significantly correlated with D.T.value (p<0.01). Growth of Salmonella enteritidis in the condition of 37℃ and pH 7.0 presented the lowest D.T.value.
